stan collender, how does john boehner come out looking after what happened? guest: it is hard to see anything positive. he took on negotiating for the republicans and failed to even get his own house to come along with some of what he wanted to do. now he is in control of the negotiations with harry reid. there is some discussion about whether he might be in trouble in his reelection as speaker. that is a long shot. it is unusual to unseat an existing speaker. it is possible. it is possible if he cuts a deal before his election, it could stop him from being reelected. host: what are the pitfalls for harry reid and mitch mcconnell as they negotiate today? guest: mitch mcconnell is up for reelection in 2014. if he agrees with the white house, it will hurt him in his district. rand paul -- mcconnell has less room to maneuver now than with previous deals. for harry reid, a lot of his reputation is on the line. can he put something on the floor of the senate that his own democrats will support? guest: the clearest losers are those unemployed and trying to get jobs

does john boehner need nancy pelosi in order to get anything passed? >> reporter: yes, absolutely. no question about it. that became incredibly obvious when he couldn't even get his own republicans to effectively save them from themselves and at least have some political cover by voting to keep tax cuts in place for everybody except millionaires because they said they wouldn't help him with what they call a political ploy. i think that's true but actually talking to people on both sides of the aisle here, because the ball is now in the senate -- the senate's court, the feeling is that if they can kind of break the dam in the senate and if something actually passes, you've already seen over the past two days house republicans saying that they hadn't said before, if the senate passes something, we'll take it up. and if that's the case, the sort of betting is that with the help of the majority of the democrats, probably most of the democrats and maybe, you know, a few dozen or more republicans, that's how it would get passed. but, candy, it's still a big if, as we just witnessed, whet

it appears, for at least the time being, john boehner is on the side line letting something get hashed down in the senate between mitch mcconnell and joe biden right now. let's just say if a deal comes out of the senate that puts this tax increase around half million dollars threshold, say it has satisfactory spending cuts, is there still any chance that type of bill gets enough republican support in the house to get signed into law and get done by january 1? >> well, i wouldn't foreclose on any possibility there. but do remember, the speaker and the house republicans are not sidelined. we actually did our work so many months ago that most people don't remember it. we sent a tax bill over to the senate for them to take up before the august recess. the fact that they refused to work on it, extended all tax rates for another 12 months, while we work on fundamental tax reform. which really is the sensible way to go about doing this if you just stop and think about it. the actual money delivered under the president's proposal is really pretty paltry and here is a chance to actually change
